I recently received an e-mail from Nina (aka Delta Gold Lass on Milepoint) with a pretty funny sign. While the average person might not see the humor, most of us in the mileage collecting hobby should see the humor here!Nina is a speech language pathologist working with children ages 0-5. Most of them have autism spectrum disorders (I happen to work in the same field as a special educator). She was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, living directly across from the Atlantic Ocean. She is still not back in her condo yet but her saving grace is travel.

I wanted to find out a little more about this sign and sent Nina a few questions.Here they are:MW: Where did you spot the sign?Nina: I spotted the sign along Route 80 in rural central Pennsylvania.MW: When did you spot it?Nina: I saw it on April 19 & 21. I was on the way to a gymnastics event at Penn State with some friends that love gymnastics.

MW: What was your reaction when you saw it?Nina: I had to stop and pull over to take a picture because it was hilarious. To me it was hysterical in the eyes of a flying freak. I deliberately wait for Delta fares to drop and then take flights to no where just to accumulate MQMs. MW: How did your friends feel when you decided to pull over?Nina: My companions are accustomed to my lunacy and some have reaped the benefits. They also laughed, seeing my perspective but also rolled their eyes and grinned to bear the detour!I want to thank Nina for sending in this sign and sharing a little about it with us!***For those that don’t know, a mileage run (according to Wikipedia) is “an airline trip designed and taken solely to gain maximum frequent- flyer miles, points or status”.

While driving through Pennsylvania Dutch Country we passed countless numbers of farms with huge silos. On the way to dinner one evening we saw this amazing sunset. I had to pull over the car for a few minutes to enjoy the view and get some photos.
